For the first 35 years of playing I believed/was led to believe my true self (peace) was something I worked on from the Outside-In. Got to scratch ; never really felt settled 😟 Walked from the game 10 years ago ( off 6) 2027 ; A return to the game #GolfInsideOut 😎

The one insisting we need a coping strategy,is the one who most needs us to believe we can't cope. Challenging their belief = You aren't informed You aren't qualified You haven't read the science You haven't done the research Your view isn't valid Do not challenge 🤫

'When I'm up in my head , my swing looks like a held breath ; And then, like a breath of fresh air , it unfolds' #andym_innergame

Personal and At a Distance There's a me and there is a presence I have to practice and work towards #DoerShip #Two Intimacy and Immediacy The dissolving of the idea of a me to reveal the expression of presence, which isn't separate or governed by time #Awareness #One

We will all bob inbetween the 2 appearances. I am not immune to temporarily linking my well being to the success or failure of a golf outcome 🥳🥵🤯😎🤧 However the waking up period is way shorter ⏰️. Well being has never been conditional #Nature #Foundational

Insecurity arises in the proximity of the shot = me/this shot isn't going to be ok unless I do something 'extra' ( to ensure/to fix/to cope) #OutsideIn Insecurity arises as an expression of thought in the moment, independent of the shot and unrelated to who I am #InsideOut

Seeking a spiritual one-upmanship is no more valuable than diligently practicing mental techniques to "become more you" Pursuing spiritual understanding to foster material gain is quite an elaborate game with the ego still needing it's reward. #VeilAfterVeil

Happiness is inherent ; yet we inadvertently make it conditional Happiness is impersonal; we believe it's personal Happiness is within nature of But we believe it's the content of Happiness is "in here' ; but we tend to seek it "out there' And around and around we go

Freedom expressing in your game is not down to the successful application of a mental technique you've practiced over and over It's the absence of any of that Where else in your world do you systematically practice being yourself in order to be able to express freely ?

Curious to see what emerges now as a result of my unlearning The task hasn't changed; still moving a club to move a ball towards a target But the relationship to how I feel whilst doing that, what that means about me, how I appear to others is hugely different 💙 Let's play

Thankful that I've been there for every shot I've ever hit ...and will hit. No one else will ever hold that position Direct experience has informed every shot I've ever hit ...and will hit Someone else's opinion has not My final golfing chapter begins ; Look Within ⛳️

And so we begin 😬 Was surprisingly OK; club got introduced to ball a few times 🙂

#part1 ⛳️ My first port of call before I start getting consumed in all the shiny stuff , ball, swing , interacting with a coach, is to sit with @StaceyRodgerPT Screening ; understand my mobility , strengths , imbalances , commit to the prog she advises and reassess frequently

It's fair to say we can all agree that the foundation of peace, ease, connection, flow is what we are all seeking as bedfellows to our performance ? But what if that foundation has never been anywhere but here ? Not lost Not lacking Not rationed Not exclusive to a few

Familiar to you? The innocent "extra doer-ship ' when caught in a prediction believed to be true ahead of time? My tendency Deceleration and presenting loft as a response to my "looks left' story 🤯 Yours Adding speed? Backing up? Compromising loft? Something else?

Just to be sure I am understanding what youre saying You're adding something else into how you deliver the club, based on the predicted conclusion you've decided must be true, before even arriving at the ball , given the compelling appearance of a made up story? Yes ! 🫣
